Thanks for all the hard work, Sally and everyone. It's been a very smooth update for me, no issues at all.

Sarcasm or sliminess?

 

[Xaviour]

I take it your system has sufficient storage space for the installation?

That is the installation applications responsibility to validate before commencing installation.

Yep, same here. Delay was fine, much prefer them taking an extra couple of hours to do it properly as opposed to having to apply patches and hotfixes. Updating the launcher was a little bit of a mild frustration, but other than that was just two connection issues immediately after getting in when the server hamsters were at full load, and smooth sailing since. There’s been a very noticeable bump in performance for me, changing ships is almost instant now, the lighting quality seems to have been upped a bit as well. Haven’t been on-foot yet, but looking forward to a session of that tonight or tomorrow.

4,3 GB DL?A download that takes 3 months in German.

Sitting in germany, the whole game (70gb) took me less than two hours to download.
I don´t think Fdev is responsible to provide you with a good connection, so this one is on you

 

[BlackSpec]

hey Frankymole i have same issue as you and nobody cares to find solution.​

i have tried the download from zaonce website but it does not work. wiped out the exsisting ed launcher files and replaced with those off zaonce site. nope, it aks for upgrade. after clicking upgrade it goes idle until i close launcher then reopen then it goes to working but progress bar stops at full and it sits there for ages. closing/reopening does notthing.

are there any fixes or workarounds? the zaonce thing does not work for players with epic store. looks like.
i cannot launch game from EDlauncher as it asks to purchase redeem elite dangerous, so can only launch via epic launcher.

if i reboot my computer it asks to download the whole 14 update all over again. and i dont have idea what is wrong. never had problem like this.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the game helped me!

At the risk of sounding unpopular

The option to skip the cut scene would be lovely. I mean don't get me wrong. It's all very impressive and all that, but I've seen it quite a few times tonight (due to crashing etc) and I do now get the picture.

Once you watch it, you just click on it and it skips.

it is not just about the connection, if you hard disk is slow, it can have an impact on the MB/s, that is what I observed based on my laptops and 1 desktop.

impressive cinematic seriously?

agree to remove, especially that is so poorly done. we are in 2022 not in 1996, wing commander had better cinematic.

It has its charm, the explosions brought to mind the cinematic masterpiece Birdemic.

 

[SergMx]

Excuse me, has anyone given the Thargoids the coordinates of the pledge zone (new pilots) ?

 

[Judge Raven]

I've gotten in and actually been jumping between systems, but I cannot get my fleet carrier to jump to a new system via system map, it keeps saying "Not a valid carrier destination". Only galaxy map seems to allow a new destination, but that can be random where it jumps to (correct?).

then you are lucky, i can't jump at all.

 

[RowanSkye]

I gotta say, the intro animatic looks like it's a bunch of stills from other ED animations. At least it shows what happened, lmao.

Seriously, the explosion animation is the same on all parts.

 

[V'larr]

So, unless my eyes deceive me, there's nothing in the patch improving the aliasing situation?

It is my sincere hope that makes it to the top of the pile for targeted progress. Here's looking to 2023 I suppose.

 

[AGENT_001]

As a software engr myself, I was not surprised (not that im expecting) at the delays. Especially with a patch containing so many changes. Think of the countless on time patches FDev rolled out in the past.

And FDev, u guys just ruin the galaxy
Must say with this patch, mankind is forced to make a stand. Now i can understand more why there was some boost to normal AX weaponry.

Nice work guys, for keeping the game alive and engaging.

 

[Sublime]

So can human faction wars also be like this from now on? With stations being attacked, capital ships at surface level, etc?

 

[sallymorganmoore]

@sallymorganmoore can you double-check the material rewards for the new AX missions (the wing missions that are titled "Kill X Basilisks", "Kill X Medusas" etc.). They only seem to be offering ONE material as a reward which seems very insufficient, considering the risk and the older missions for killing a single interceptor used to offer 5 materials.

Of course o7 I’ll check.

 

[sallymorganmoore]

@sallymorganmoore in the grand scheme of bugs, this one is negligible, but the payout window from Vista Genomics does not match the actual payout. In this screenshot the window showed 12,073,500 credits with discovery bonus and the actual payout was 4,829,400.

Edit: sorry the pic is upside down! Posting from my phone.

Noted for sure. As I was reading I was hoping maybe it was the bonus not being applied but that’s a random total
On the case o7

 

[sallymorganmoore]

HI, Sally! Will we be reimbursed the cost in tritium and hull maintenance?

I'm just finding out about this I am lucky that my carrier has jumped only once. However, for those whose carriers have gone rogue the bill's gonna be quite steep.

I can absolutely pass this on, Ace o7 Also if anyones carrier has pretty much jumped to the point of this being a major issue for them, please do let me know in a reply. Thank you!
